Hi Ray P


It came from South Australia from a Gumtree seller that got it from a charity shop (Labels on the body)
I powered it up and SURPRISE it worked.
i pressed all the keys and HOLES and EVERY Key worked.

It was on gumtree for 16 Minutes before i rang the guy in SA (Nice bloke)


That is the history that i know.
One of our members has offered to help out with some Keyboard Parts.
Thats what Forums are about

Thanks    Ray W

Hi Jason
The Keyboard arrived well done.
I only want 2 KeyCaps now  thats all.
The " I " in the middle row and a " 0 " for the top row
I have made up a dummy " I " By using the " 1 " key and blacking out the little bit on the top
and substituted the " 0 " Key from the Key Pad " 0 "  without the " _ " on the top of the " 0 "

Thanks again    Ray

... did you glue those on, given that many of "+"-shaped holding pins were broken?

No Glue.
I got a donor Keyboard sent from England (i Think) to me in Australia, and used Most of the GOOD keycaps and the sliders to replace the unwell ones.

Thanks

Ray
